(Another AV8RSTUFF Creation): VFA-122 flies the F/A-18C out of NAS Lemoore, CA as the West Coast Replacement Air Group (RAG). In order to be qualified for the “FLEET” (operational squadrons), the pilots must “Carrier Qualify” by landing multiple times (day and night) onboard an aircraft carrier. This is called a “CQ DET” and this particular graduating class created this PILOT-winged nametag to commemorate their KEY WEST CQ Det. This patch does not come with velcro attached and has the “pinks” of a beach sunset and the blues of the Gulf of Mexico.
